His work bridges theoretical linguistics and computational approaches to language understanding. Education: B.A. in Linguistics from New York University (1999) Ph.D. in Linguistics from University of California, Santa Cruz (2003) Potts' research focuses on how computational methods can illuminate linguistic phenomena, particularly in the areas of semantics, pragmatics, and sentiment analysis. His work explores how emotion is expressed in language and how linguistic production and interpretation are influenced by context. He has made significant contributions to understanding conventional implicatures, sentiment analysis frameworks, and the application of neural networks to linguistic problems. His recent work has increasingly focused on the interpretability of large language models and the development of frameworks like DSPy for building reliable AI systems. An analysis of Potts' recent publications reveals a strong trend toward the intersection of linguistic theory and practical AI applications. His work spans theoretical linguistics (e.g., compositionality, preposing constructions), neural network interpretability, and practical NLP systems (e.g., ColBERT, DSPy). The research demonstrates consistent focus on making language models more transparent, controllable, and linguistically informed, with particular attention to how context shapes meaning.
